Milwaukee -5.5

Laying the points here has value on Thursday with Milwaukee.

The 2nd half of the season gets set to tip off, as a potential playoff matchup clashes here. 

Milwaukee has been a consistent team thus far as they feature not only one of the best players in the NBA, but one of the best offenses in the entire league.

Milwaukee puts up 120 points per home game and they come into this one 23-5 SU in home situations. Look for them to really be overwhelming for the Celtics here, who just haven't found a way to get over that hump as they search for their top level.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Lay the points.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Jose +102

Fading Pittsburgh at home is rare, but this is a nice spot to here. 

Pittsburgh just hasn't been the same team as they've been in the past. They have struggled on the defensive end mightily. They are allowing a lot of easy looks for opponents and they've certainly struggled against some of the top teams in the NHL. 

San Jose comes into this one winners of 5 straight on the road and have gone 5-1 in their last 6 against the Metro Division.

Look for them to find a lot of success on the offensive end, as San Jose loves to crash the net. 

Some trends to note. Sharks are 4-1 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Sharks are 7-2 in their last 9 overall.

Grab the visitors.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NHL ML Play

Carolina -115

The Hurricanes have value at this price. 

Carolina is 6-2 in their last 8 overall as they continue their push towards the postseason. 

They are playing great on both ends of the ice, as they have really become a much more assertive team around the net. They don't hurt you with the first shot, but they get you on the 2nd and 3rd chances off rebounds. 

They have done well in this series as of late, winning 4 of the last 5 including a 4-1 win earlier this season in November.

Some trends to note. Hurricanes are 6-2 in their last 8 games as a favorite. Hurricanes are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. Atlantic.

Grab the visitors.

Back Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL ML Play

USC -2

This is a nice number to back the home side at here on Thursday. 

USC continues their battle for the 4th spot in the Pac-12, as they are in search of a bye in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. 

Coming in with an 11-4 home record this season, they hold value here against a reeling Oregon team. The Ducks sit 8th in the conference and have struggled to gain any sort of steam this season. 

They've averaged a conference-worst 59 points per game when playing on the road too. Look for their struggles to continue here against a USC team that matchups very well with them. 

Some trends to note. Ducks are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Ducks are 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 road games.

Lay the number.

Back USC.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Michigan -4.5

The Wolverines have value on the road here.

Michigan has a huge situational edge here in this one. The Wolverines come into this one 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road contests. 

It hasn't mattered whether they are home or away this season, this team has played well in both instances and come out with plenty of aggression. 

They matchup well here against the Golden Gophers, who have gone just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 against a team with a winning record at home. 

Some trends to note. Wolverines are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wolverines are 37-14-2 ATS in their last 53 Thursday games

Michigan is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road meetings with Minnesota. Lay the small number here.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
